PREMATURE BURIAL.
The Horrible Experience and Death OF an
Elderly French Woman.

Another case of premature burial
worthy of being analysed in the real
istic manner of lola has occurred in
France. An elderly woman who lived
at st. Ouen in Louerie recently fell ill,
and. as her friends thought, died. The
funeral took place, and as the grave
digger was preparing to lower the coffin
into the earth he heard means issuing
from inside the lugubrious four boards
enclosing the presumed corpse. The
grave-digger, half frightened at the
probable ghost which his Imagination
conjured up, and partly awed by the
requirements enacted by the law
in circumstances such as those in
which he found himself placed, left
the coffin in care of the mOurners and
went off with his sombre story to NJ. lie
Marie. That rural dignitary, having
duly donned his scarf of office and
summoned the village doctor, pro-
ceeded to the local Goods acre" The
coffin was then opened. and it was dis
covered that the woman had just died
from fright, having awakened from a
trance to find herself hemmed in be-
tween the terrible deal planks.
When horrible scenes like this are
repeated it is time for the authorities
and the public at large to take into
consideration the invention of the in
genious undertaken who has adopted as
his motto: mo more premature
burials." This practical person offers
to supply j. all cases of doubtful death
an apparatus by means of which those
who have had the misfortune to be
buried alive may not only inhale fresh
air on their awakening. but also COM
municate by signal with the world
which has left them for dead. London

ABOUT WOOD CARPET.
A Profitable Industry That Is MOnopOlized
by Four American Firms.

n
by -Four American Firms.
The Use of wood carpet is constantly
on the increase, and there is scarcely
any limit to the prospects for it. This
kind of floor covering can be made so
as to sell as cheaply as a good quality
of ingram, or it can be so wrought with
costly woods as to sell at one dollar or
more foot. Good oak, ash and maple
carpet can be sold at between eighty
and ninety cents a yard. Finished in
oil, it is good enough for any ordinary
use. For wainscoting and ceiling it is
admirably adapted.
The process of making wood carpet
is comparatively simple, though
the work must be done with
exactitude. Carefully adjusted saws
strip the lumber into the desired
thickness and width, the latter
differing according to the work re-
ouired. The stuff is then subjected
to the saws that cut it out in proper
shape for inlaying, to form the fabric
and figure of the carpet. This must be
done with much particularly, as each
of the multiform pieces must exactly
fit The arrangement of the pieces and
the gluing of them is done by lads, and
looks like slow work. but yards are
hus woven with fair celebrity. Canvas
s glued on one side TO give strength to-
the fabric. The carpet is then SUBJ
iected to sand paper, and is finally fin
ished with hard oil. The designing Of
wood carpet is tedious and expensive.
Sometimes the manufacturer devises
and works out pattern at great ex-
pense, only to find that it does not suit
the popular taste, and must be thrown
aside. The popularity of woods also
iiuctuates. as it does in interior finish.
Plain. white oak carpet is now very
salable, because it is cheap. finishes
well. and is OF lasting quality.-M w.

OF linen and cotton for underwear is
one of the commoneSt of all errors in
this country. Now in Germany we
have a movement which is called the
German School of Clothing Reform. 1t
aims to replace cotton and linen with
wooden goods. There are many reasons
why this should be done. Wool exer-

1t is Il non-conducJor of heat and pre-

cOnductivity of heat. it preserves the
normal measure of warmth. Hence it
is better protection against the ex-

well. those certainly 90 seem to be
reasons enough"

cotton are not. Wool can excite cleo

why doesn't every one wear wool,
then?"
Because" answered the physician,

flumsy and gauzy next to the flesh is
too firmly instilled in the minds of the
manufacturers of underwear for them
to experiment with wooden materials.
